Delicious Soda Water
Last evening a STAR reporter dropped into Kurtz' Pharmacy, upper Seventh Avenue, Beaver Falls, and found him over head and ears in business dispensing foaming soda water to a thirsty crowd. It is said that Kurtz sells more soda water than any two druggists in Beaver Falls.
When asked the reason of his big trade he said he didn't know unless it was because he used only pure fruit juice and rock candy syrups, and gave the largest glass for the money.
